INTRODUCTION 


WITH  the  acquisition  of  the  Amos  F.  Eno  Collection  of  New  York 
City  Views,  The  New  York  Public  Library  at  a  stroke  adds  over  450 
pieces  to  its  store  of  prints  illustrating  the  growth  of  the  city  and  its  aspect 
at  different  times  and  in  various  phases.  The  Library  already  possessed  a 
considerable  number  of  such  views,  some  separate,  others  scattered  through 
the  extra-illustrated  volumes  gathered  by  Dr.  Thomas  A.  Emmet  and  others, 
or  to  be  found  in  various  books  of  what  one  might  call  the  American  incu- 
nabula period.  The  Eno  Collection,  one  of  the  most  important  of  its  kind, 
adds  richly  to  this  mass  of  material,  and  the  Library  is  fortunate,  indeed,  to 
have  come  into  its  possession. 

Eno,  the  collector  and  the  man,  was  well  described  in  the  following 
editorial  article  published  in  the  New  York  Times,  on  Oct.  23,  1915,  the 
day  after  his  death: 

An  Old  New  Yorker 

In  the  death  of  Amos  F.  Eno  New  York  has  lost  not 
only  one  of  its  oldest  citizens,  but  one  to  whom  the  metropolis 
in  all  its  phases  was  always  interesting.  New  York  City  was 
his  hobby,  in  the  pursuit  of  which  his  keenest  enjoyment  lay 
in  collecting  old  prints  of  scenes  and  landmarks  long  since 
effaced  by  modern  improvements. 

Mr.  Eno  was  one  of  that  small  coterie  of  lovers  of  New 
York  whose  highest  ambition  is  the  acquisition  of  a  rare 
engraving  of  which  it  proudly  may  be  said  that  it  is  either 
unique  or  that  but  one  or  two  copies  are  known.  He  was  one 
of  the  few  collectors  of  New  York  prints,  among  his  genial 
rivals  being  John  D.  Crimmins,  R.  T.  Haines  Halsey, 
Robert  Goelet,  Percy  R.  Pyne  2d,  William  Loring  Andrews, 
Simeon  Ford,  Isaac  N.  Phelps  Stokes,  Ambassador  Morgen- 
thau,  and  J.  Clarence  Davies.  Mr.  Eno  began  when  the  field 
had  few  competitors,  and  he  often  related,  with  the  true  pride 
of  the  collector,  his  "find"  of  some  rarity  for  a  few  dollars, 
now  worth  as  many  thousands.  His  investments  in  these  pic- 
torial souvenirs  of  early  New  York  would  doubtless  realize, 
proportionately,  a  higher  percentage  of  increase  than  his  large 
real  estate  holdings. 

Mr.  Eno  was  born  in  New  York  City,  and  for  the  greater 
part  of  his  long  life  of  eighty-one  years  lived,  a  bachelor,  in 
the  old  family  home  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  Tenth  Street.  He

resisted,  successfully,  many  threatened  invasions  of  business 
into  the  lower  Fifth  Avenue  centre,  and,  like  other  lovers  of 
their  old  homes  in  different  localities,  he  purchased  adjacent 
property  to  preserve  the  residential  character  of  his  neighbor- 
hood. His  wholesale  jobbing  firm,  organized  a  few  years 
after  his  father  built  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel,  was  ruined  by 
the  Civil  War,  but  thirty-six  years  later  Mr.  Eno  voluntarily 
paid  the  creditors  of  his  firm  in  full,  although  the  debts  had 
long  been  legally  wiped  out. 

To  this  it  may  be  added  that  he  went  to  war  with  the  Seventh  Regiment 
(New  York),  and  became  a  colonel  in  the  Union  Army. 

Among  the  prints  accumulated  by  Mr.  Eno  are  outstanding  pieces, 
important  through  rarity  and  prized  in  the  hunt  for  New  York  City  views. 
The  oldest  prints  include  what  may  be  called  standard  pieces,  which  "no 
gentleman's  collection  should  be  without,"  as  they  used  to  say  of  private 
libraries.  Seventeenth  century  engravings,  such  as  the  Schenk  and  Allard 
views.  Eighteenth  century  plans,  such  as  Montresor's  (1775),  Ratzer's 
(1776),  Popple's,  and  William  Faden's  (1776)}  and  views  such  as  those 
by  Carwitham,  Canot,  and  the  excessively  rare  1796  view,  with  the  man-of- 
war  at  the  left  (possibly  by  St.  Memin,  thinks  Mr.  Stokes).  Early  Nine- 
teenth century  prints  by  W.  Rollinson  (1801),  W.  J.  Bennett  ("Fulton  St. 
and  Market,"  and  others),  John  Hill,  and  Jukes  ("New  York  from  Ho- 
buck").  Coming  years  bring  rapid  increase  in  pictures.  General  views  of  the 
city  by  J.  Hill  after  W.  G.  Wall  ( 1 828),  Havell  ( 1 844),  Papprill  after  J. 
W.  Hill  (1849),  Fritsch's  two  military  prints,  W.  J.  Bennett  after  J.  W. 
Hill,  Himely  after  Garneray,  Hornor's  unfinished  "New  York  from  Brook- 
lyn," and  "New  York  from  the  Latting  Observatory."  There  are  Bennett's 
two  aquatints,  after  Calyo,  of  the  great  fire  of  1835,  the  Hornor-Hill 
"Broadway"  (1836),  original  drawings  of  Staten  Island  views  by  August 
Kollner.  One  may  draw  more  from  the  appended  list. 

To  the  historian  or  student  of  history  who  seeks  for  pictorial  documen- 
tation in  these  days  of  "visual  instruction"  this  gift  will  come  as  a  welcome, 
valuable  and  highly  useful  boon.  To  the  curious  and  interested  loiterer 
through  the  panoramic  changes  of  his  city's  development  it  offers  pleasant 
and  instructive  material  full  of  alluring  details  and  branching  into  most 
tempting  by-paths.  To  curators  of  prints,  and  others,  it  brings,  in  addition, 
the  impulse  to  divagational  speculations  as  to  the  inwardness  of  prints,  which 
seem  to  have  about  as  many  points  of  possible  interest  as  a  fly's  eye  has  facets. 

The  game  of  prints  is  an  alluring  one,  once  you  start  it.  It  does  not 
matter  at  what  angle  you  approach  it  —  and  there  are  as  many  as  there  are 
points  in  that  soul-stirring  sport  of  "boxing  the  compass,"  and  more  —  you

will  find  fresh  ways  of  playing  it  and  others  to  play  it  with  you.  The  love  of 
prints  is  more  or  less  unobtrusively  nurtured  by  public  print  collections  in 
various  parts  of  the  world.  The  prime  object  of  these  is  to  preserve  repre- 
sentative and  characteristic  specimens  of  the  graphic  reproductive  arts,  illus- 
trating processes  as  a  basis  of  information,  but  ultimately  and  principally 
illustrating  the  fact  that  prints,  like  any  form  of  art,  in  their  finest  flower 
give  finest  expression  to  the  fundamental  and  moving  ideals  and  ideas  of 
given  countries  and  periods,  seen  through  the  mind  and  mood  of  the  artist. 
That  is  the  prime  function  and  interest  of  prints.  Then,  secondarily,  but 
inevitably  and  logically,  enters  the  subject  interest,  with  its  equally  inevitable 
leading  to  specialties.  When  one  of  those  is  entered  into,  one  is  quite  natu- 
rally drawn,  temporarily  or  even  more  or  less  permanently,  away  from 
purely  aesthetic  considerations. 

In  the  engrossing  field  of  Americana  —  which  again  falls  into  special- 
ties, such  as  historical  prints,  naval  pictures,  portraits,  Washington  portraits, 
bookplates,  New  York  City  views,  sporting  prints,  and  ever  so  many 
more  —  the  aesthetic  focus  is  deranged  a  bit.  Comparisons  may  easily  narrow 
down  to  those  made  within  the  field,  so  that  the  very  small  talent  is  condoned 
and  the  less  small  takes  on  importance  on  the  basis  of  the  old  saying:  "among 
the  blind  the  one-eyed  is  king."  Joy  in  the  subject  may  become  almost  undi- 
luted. Does  an  old  New  Yorker  who  likes  his  city,  and  whose  sympathetic 
imagination  enables  him  to  reconstruct,  with  the  aid  of  pictures,  the  very 
spirit  of  the  city  in  the  days  even  antedating  his  own  experience  —  does  he 
worry  all  too  much  about  the  excellence  of  the  work  of  draughtsman  and 
engraver?  That  is,  of  course,  beyond  a  natural  preference  for  the  good  job 
over  the  poor  one.  (And,  in  our  present  hunting  ground  of  New  York  City 
views,  there  are  many  good  jobs  in  that  long  series  of  pictorial  records  of  the 
metropolis  described  in  the  "Iconography"  of  I.  N.  Phelps  Stokes.)  Will 
he  not  have  his  innocent  and  legitimate  amusement,  for  instance,  over  those 
two  proofs  of  the  fact  that  the  freedom  of  the  city  was  once  granted  to  pigs? 
(The  one  a  pamphlet  with  indifferent  illustrations  issued  about  1 820,  the 
other  a  little  vignette  published  in  all  seriousness  in  Morse's  "Geography," 
and  showing  the  parade  of  1842  celebrating  the  opening  of  the  Croton 
Aqueduct,  with  a  pig  scampering  through  City  Hall  Park  at  the  head  of  the 
procession.) 

It  is  such  considerations,  as  well  as  the  serious  one  of  historical  research 
(into  which,  after  all,  the  element  of  humor  should  enter  to  play  its  part) 
that  form  the  importance  of  such  a  gift  as  that  of  the  Eno  Collection.  Any 
large  print  department,  whether  in  museum  or  library,  will,  at  times,  step 
aside  from  its  prime  function,  to  consider  and  take  care  of  a  specialty  such 
as  this,  particularly  if  it  is  one  of  local  interest.  Moreover,  on  such  a  matter 
of  historical  utility,  what  is  true  always  of  print  collections  becomes  truer

THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 


than  ever.  That  is,  the  fact  once  tersely  expressed  by  the  late  Dr.  John 
S.  Billings: 

A  good  representative  collection  of  prints  is  of  greatest 
interest  and  use  to  the  public  and  to  a  majority  of  those  espe- 
cially interested  in  prints  in  particular,  if  it  exists  in  immediate 
connection  with  a  large  library.  In  the  library  it  can  be  closely 
associated  with  the  literature  of  art,  an  association  which  is 
absolutely  necessary  to  obtain  full  benefit  of  each;  and  it  is 
also  available  for  the  student  of  social  history,  of  the  manners, 
customs,  costumes,  etc.,  of  a  particular  race  or  person  in  con- 
nection with  the  literature  of  these  subjects. 

This  means,  of  course,  that  prints,  in  many  ways,  mirror  the  mental 
activity  of  mankind,  of  which  they  form  a  rich  and  varied  phase.  To  collect 
engravings  by  Duerer,  as  an  example  of  the  highest  development  of  the  art 
in  the  North  in  his  time,  and  as  a  supreme  expression  of  that  period  which 
we  call  the  German  Renaissance,  is  one  thing.  To  acquire  French  engravings 
of  the  Eighteenth  century,  in  which  the  elegance,  brilliancy,  and  luxury  of 
the  time  are  pictured  with  admirable  skill  and  understanding,  or  British 
mezzotints  in  which  the  social  and  political  life  of  Britain,  as  personified  in 
her  great  personages  in  the  same  century,  is  preserved  with  a  rich  reflection 
of  that  time  of  ruffles  and  vigor,  is  the  same.  Only  the  scene  and  its  expression 
change,  but  the  art,  the  craftsmanship,  are  there.  In  the  field  of  Americana, 
the  basis  of  acquisition  is  perforce  somewhat  modified.  The  struggle,  in  the 
earlier  days  of  our  country,  to  foster  the  finer  graces  of  art  amid  the  struggle 
to  build  a  nation,  is  often  more  to  be  honored  in  the  intention  than  in  the 
accomplishment.  So  much  so  that  not  infrequently,  even  as  historical  docu- 
ments, our  early  prints  can  be  excused,  for  shortcomings  in  veracity,  only  on 
the  plea  that  they  are  at  least  contemporaneous  with  the  event  pictured.  But 
they  allure,  nevertheless. 

In  a  large  and  important  collection  of  New  York  City  views,  such  as 
this  one  formed  by  Mr.  Eno,  not  only  the  city  in  its  entirety  is  pictured,  not 
only  particular  streets  and  buildings,  but  the  human  element  in  other  days 
is  brought  nearer  to  us.  Man's  activities,  his  changing  costume,  customs  and 
views  of  life,  methods  of  transportation,  the  growth  of  traffic,  the  life  of  the 
street,  are  illustrated  in  a  profusion  of  types  and  incidents,  directly  or  inci- 
dentally presented.  A  veritable  pageant  of  New  York  City  history  passes 
before  one  in  such  an  array  of  prints,  more  pulsatingly  alive  and  convincing 
than  actual  parading  of  humanity  on  floats  in  celebration  pageants  is  apt  to 
make  it.  The  mute  sheets  speak  volubly  and  richly  to  him  who  will  heed. 

One  may,  then,  go  through  such  a  collection  with  the  point-of-view  of 
the  amateur  or  collector  of  New  York  City  views,  interested  in  dates,  in  the 
development  of  the  pictorial  record  of  the  city.  So  one  will  pass  from  the 
earliest  Dutch  views  of  the  Seventeenth  century,  to  the  Eighteenth  century 


THE  ENO  COLLECTION  OF  NEW  YORK  CITY  VIEWS

British  engravings,  including  plans  and  maps  on  which  one  may  note  by 
the  way  such  spellings  of  localities  as  Bloomindoll,  Harlan,  Morisinig, 
Brockland,  Bushwijk.  One  passes  into  the  early  Nineteenth  century,  when 
there  came  an  evidently  growing  interest  in  metropolitan  achievement  as  an 
outstanding  phase  of  the  significance  of  "the  smartest  nation  in  all  creation." 
Prints  —  good,  respectable,  and  bad  —  fairly  fell  over  each  other  from  the 
presses.  The  city  as  a  whole  was  depicted  from  East,  West,  and  South,  from 
Weahawk,  Hobuck,  Long  Island,  and  Governor's  Island,  sometimes  as  a 
not  over-important  part  of  the  landscape.  But  artists  and  engravers  began 
also  to  turn  to  the  delineation  of  street  scenes  and  individual  buildings,  and 
with  that  there  come  for  us  little  excursions,  full  of  interest,  off  the  beaten 
track  to  note  the  incidental,  the  odd  fact  caught  by  the  way. 

Of  the  many  familiar  prints  among  those  that  constitute  the  record  of 
New  York  in  pictures,  an  interestingly  large  representation  is  to  be  found 
here,  and  there  are  also  some  of  the  rarities  with  which  most  of  us  have  no 
more  than  a  nodding  acquaintance. 

One  may  get  from  this  collection  a  side  light  on  the  cultivation  of  the 
military  spirit.  Militia  organizations  were  pictured  in  all  their  brave  array 
of  gorgeous  uniforms,  but  to-day  the  prints  in  which  they  appeared  are 
treasured  by  collectors  of  New  York  City  views  on  account  of  their  settings. 
Fritsch's  large  colored  lithographs,  done  in  1843  and  1844,  of  the  38th 
Regiment,  Jefferson  Guards  and  the  First  Division,  with  each  member  care- 
fully portrayed,  are  to-day  regarded  as  desirable  pictures  of  Castle  Garden 
and  City  Hall,  respectively.  Otto  Boetticher  painted  a  picture  of  the  7th 
Regiment  drilling  in  Washington  Square,  and  the  lithographic  copy  forms 
for  us  an  invaluable  record  of  the  appearance  of  that  spot  in  1 852. 

To  switch  to  quite  a  different  specialty  in  hobbies  —  vessels.  Some  of 
the  large  views  of  New  York  from  Long  Island,  especially  those  by  Havell 
and  Hornor,  show  the  East  River  swarming  with  craft  —  old  style  ferry- 
boats, excursion  boats,  paddle-wheel  ocean  steamers,  old  war  ships.  The 
whole  waterfront  is  enlivened  by  this  fortuitous  yet  detailed  panorama  of 
shipping.  Again,  the  matter  of  vehicles.  There  is  notably  that  view  of  the 
Battery,  done  on  stone  by  Parsons  and  Atwater  in  1872,  in  which  the  fore- 
ground is  filled  with  an  agglomeration  of  delivery  wagons,  an  ice  wagon, 
trucks,  drays,  carriages,  a  stage  coach,  a  pushcart,  and  one  of  the  old  "Belt 
Line"  horse  cars.  And  there  are  two  imposing  pictures  of  "Van  Amburgh 
&  Co.'s  Great  Golden  Chariot."  This  bandwagon  leads  more  or  less  grace- 
fully to  music  titles.  They  are  here,  too,  "New  Brighton  Quadrille,"  1 838  5 
"Croton  Jubilee  Quickstep,"  1 842  j  "Castle  Garden  Schottische,"  "Fort 
Hamilton  Polka,"  1852 5  "Hippodrome  Schottische,"  1858.  "Peep-show" 
prints  must  be  represented  in  any  New  York  City  collection,  and  certificates 
of  membership  in  societies  and  in  fire  companies,  too,  to  add  the  emphasis  of 
still  another  phase  of  the  city's  history.  The  careful  attention  paid  to  sign- 
boards brings  up  the  matter  of  the  more  or  less  subtly  introduced  "ad." 
Thus,  on  that  well-known  view  "from  the  steeple  of  St.  Paul's"  the  sign  of

THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 


Genin  the  Hatter  recalls  that  worthy's  purchase  of  the  first  ticket  for  Jenny 
Lind's  debut  at  Castle  Garden  for  $225 ;  that  of  Brady's  Daguerrian  Minia- 
ture Gallery  brings  to  memory  a  wonderful  portrait  gallery  of  notables  and 
an  invaluable  photographic  history  of  the  Civil  War ;  and  the  book-lover  may 
ponder  over  the  one  of  Dunigan's  Cheap  Book  Store.  Noteworthy  events 
are  pictured ;  the  dedication  of  the  Worth  monument  at  Madison  Square  j 
Kossuth's  triumphal  progress  up  Broadway 5  the  great  fire  of  1835,  one 
picture  of  which  is  a  woodcut  image  done  at  Metz,  with  a  blithe  introduction 
of  French  pompiers  in  place  of  New  York  firemen ;  and  the  procession  in 
honor  of  the  Fenian  exiles  in  1871.  The  last  is  to  be  classed  as  a  picture 
of  City  Hall,  which  building  appears  also  in  a  woodcut  printed  on  a  hand- 
kerchief, during  the  drawing  of  the  lottery. 

Old  buildings  galore  may  be  studied,  but  some  stand  out  by  very 
size  —  the  Latting  Observatory,  near  43d  Street  and  Fifth  Avenue,  Crystal 
Palace  in  Bryant  Park,  and  the  Hippodrome,  on  the  site  later  occupied  by  the 
Fifth  Avenue  Hotel,  where  Franconi  exhibited  harnessed  camels,  reindeer 
and  ostriches. 

Among  the  many  street  scenes  more  than  one  may  appeal  to  this  or 
that  one  on  account  of  personal  associations  with  the  locality  delineated. 
For  instance,  there's  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the  city,  lithographed  by  Bachmann 
in  1849,  which  is  of  peculiar  interest  on  account  of  its  detailed  depiction 
of  the  vicinity  of  Union  Square,  then  Union  Park.  The  clear  presentation 
of  the  houses  in  this  residence  district,  with  their  back  yards,  the  abundance 
of  shade  trees,  and  other  facts  make  this  an  affair  of  a  possible  thrill  for  more 
than  one.  And,  still  not  stirring  from  the  Eno  Collection,  you  may  take  trips 
beyond  the  walls  of  brick  and  brownstone,  say  up  the  Harlem  to  see  how 
High  Bridge  looked  in  1 849,  that  old  bridge  which  you  may  remember  as 
an  objective  point  for  outings  in  your  youth. 

There's  a  strong  human  interest  in  all  that  has  been  spoken  of,  an 
interest  even  more  obvious  if  we  consider  the  street  types  which  are  so  fre- 
quently introduced  into  views  of  the  city.  To  single  out  just  one,  that  negro 
messenger  carrying  a  string  of  boots  suspended  from  a  pole  carried  hori- 
zontally, in  Horner's  etched  view  (1836)  of  Broadway,  much-pictured 
thoroughfare. 

It  all  leads  to  a  repetition  of  the  statement  that  in  such  a  collection  there 
is  offered  an  opportunity  for  a  review  of  the  city's  growth  and  history,  not 
only  in  its  material  self,  but  from  the  standpoint  of  its  participation  in  the 
nation's  development,  and  as  a  local  phase  of  the  social  life  that  made  our 
country  what  it  was  in  successive  years.  Such  considerations,  finally,  can  and 
should  inevitably  lead  to  renewed  recognition  of  the  fact  that  art,  beside 
mirroring  the  easily  visible  evidences  of  costume,  custom,  and  daily  life, 
may,  in  its  deeper  significance,  be  an  expression  of  the  spirit  of  its  time  and 
land.  In  that  truism  lie  some  of  the  richest  possibilities  of  the  employment 
of  art  in  the  interpretation  of  history.  p  ™ 


CATALOGUE  OF  THE  COLLECTION 


The  prints  are  arranged  in  chronological  order,  on  the  plan  of  "The  Iconography  of 
Manhattan  Island,"  by  I.  N.  Phelps  Stokes.  That  is,  they  are  arranged  by  date  of  depiction, 
thus  showing  the  city,  or  a  part  of  it,  at  a  certain  time,  irrespective  of  date  of  publication 
of  the  print.  Thus,  repetitions  of  an  early  eighteenth  century  design  in  later  prints  of  the 
same  century  are  all  grouped  under  the  date  of  the  first,  or  an  engraving  executed  in  the  second 
half  of  the  nineteenth  century,  showing  Federal  Hall  in  1789,  is  listed  under  the  latter  date. 

The  reference  letter  S,  followed  by  a  figure  (110)  or  by  a  Roman  and  an  Arabic  figure 
(111:893)  indicating,  respectively,  the  plate  number,  or  the  volume  and  page,  stands  for  the 
Stokes  book  mentioned  above.  That  monumental  work  has  quite  naturally  formed  the  first 
aid,  and  the  principal  one,  in  the  compilation  of  the  present  list,  although,  especially  for 
nineteenth  century  prints,  there  was  necessary  much  examination  of  directories  and  many  other 
sources  of  information. 

One  reason  for  that  is  that  besides  the  many  pieces  of  the  first  importance  in  the  Eno 
Collection,  —  pieces  indispensable  to  a  fine  collection  of  New  York  views,  —  there  is  here 
also  some  material  of  minor  importance.  Some  of  this  may,  at  first  sight,  seem  almost  negligi- 
ble, yet  this  flotsam  and  jetsam  of  the  collector's  quest  not  infrequently  offers  pictorial  facts 
not  found  elsewhere,  or  gives  welcome  confirmation  of  information  found  in  some  more  im- 
portant print.  And  so  these  cuttings  from  old  publications,  and  the  like,  will  be  found  scat- 
tered among  the  outstanding  desiderata  of  the  collector,  often  relegated  to  the  foot-note,  there 
to  play  their  humble  yet  useful  part.  For  instance,  an  advertising  page  from  a  publication  of 
the  eighteen-fifties,  offering  a  view  of  Vesey  Street  which  in  its  way  seems  unique.  In  the 
absence  of  lists  of  such  pieces,  and  of  many  of  the  smaller  steel  plates,  very  much  research  was 
often  necessary  in  order  to  fix  their  date.  And,  indeed,  even  the  previous  cataloguing  of  some 
of  the  familiar  and,  so  to  speak,  "standard"  prints,  had  to  be  corrected  in  the  face  of  newly 
discovered  facts. 

Daggers  (t  and  tt)  indicate  oversize  (over  14"  x  20")  and  extra  large  (over  20"  x  28") 
prints. 

The  maps  in  the  Map  Division,  listed  in  the  Bulletin  for  March  and  July,  1 924,  have  not 
been  re-listed  here.

Referred  to  as  similar  to  the  1735  "New  Map" 
(S  29)  by  Stokes  (i:  263).  who  says  that  impressions 
exist  dated  1731,  that  this  chart  ("English  Pilot") 
from  1749  on  bears  Tiddeman's  name  in  successive 
reissues,  and  that  in  1773  the  plate  was  retouched.

graph ;  light  brown  tint.  Proof. 

In  Valentine's  Manual  for  1854  this  print  bears 
added  lettering,  left:  Lith.  G.  Hayward  120  Water  St. 
N.  Y.;  right:  for  D.  T.  Valentine's  Manual  1854. 
Also,  the  light  gray  tint  in  the  Manual  issue  shows 
white  clouds  different  from  those  in  the  present  im- 
pression. "King's  Arms"  is  erroneous,  as  is  also 
the  description  in  the  Manual  for  1865.  The  error 
is  perpetuated  also  in  other  prints,  so  in  a  wood  en- 
graving (in  the  Eno  Collection)  by  LOSSING-BAR- 
R1TT,  a  FRONT  VIEW  OF  BURNS'  COFFEE- 
HOUSE,  BROADWAY,  OPPOSITE  THE  BOWL- 
ING GREEN,  1760,  on  a  page  numbered  513;  on 
reverse  (514)  is  cut  by  Lossing-Barritt  showing  a 
REAR  VIEW  OF  BURNS'  COFFEE-HOUSE,  1760. 
The  King's  Arms  Tavern,  says  Stokes  (in:  979). 
was  located  on  the  south-east  corner  of  Whitehall  and 
Bridge  Streets,  was  erected  1658,  became  the  King's 
Arms  prior  to  1763,  and  was  kept  by  Mrs.  Steele  until 
1768.  The  building  of  which  a  rear  view  is  shown 
in  the  present  print  was  at  9-11  Broadway,  at  Bowling 
Green.  W.  S.  Pelletreau,  in  "Early  New  York 
houses"  (New  York,  1900),  traces  its  successive  own- 
ership: "In  1848,  finally  going  to  the  Van  Cortlandts, 
the  place,  somewhat  changed  from  its  original  form, 
was  a  noted  place  of  entertainment  known  as  the 
'Atlantic  Gardens.'  "  Mr.  Thomas  W.  Hotchkiss  calls 
attention  to  Mrs.  Lamb's  "History  of  New  York," 
under  date  of  1836,  Aug.  11:  "Eve  Van  Cortlandt, 
owner  of  11  Broadway,  dies  there,  the  widow  of 
Henry  White.  Soon  afterwards  nos.  9  and  11  Broad- 
way, together,  became  the  Atlantic  Garden,"  and, 
further,  these  houses  "were  built  together  (see  Stokes, 
v.  4,  Chronology,  June  2,  1730)  presenting  a  somewhat 
peculiar  front,  and  were  surrounded  by  grounds  filled 
with  shrubbery  and  flowers."  Mr.  Hotchkiss  also 
points  out  that  the  New  Mirror  of  May  27,  1843, 
p.  120,  says:  "The  Atlantic  Hotel,  opposite  the  Bowl- 
ing Green,  is  also  in  process  of  rifacimento,"  and 
he  adds  that  "between  1852  and  1855  (see  Perris's 
Atlas  for  those  years)  the  brick  buildings  were  de- 
molished." The  grounds  referred  to  no  longer  appear 
in  Bennett's  view  of  Bowling  Green  (see  this  list  no. 
99,  100).  Stokes  says  (m:  976)  that  "between  1852 
and  1855  the  brick  bldg.  was  demolished  and  frame 
bldg.  erected.  Same  business  and  name  retained.  De- 
molished 1860  and  freight  depot  N.  Y.  C.  &  H.  R. 
R.  R.  Co.  created.  Freight  depot  demolished  1866." 
In  a  drawing  of  Bowling  Green  and  in  the  engraving 
by  Booth  after  Wade  (present  list  nos.  205  and  223) 
the  building  bears  signboard  ATLANTIC.  The  pano- 
rama of  Broadway  in  Jones  &  Newman's  Pictorial 
directory  of  New  York,  no.  1,  1848  shows  no.  5  labeled

Webb,  barrack-master  at  Albany,  and  an  apostle  of 
Wesley,  preached  to  the  Methodists  in  New  York,  who 
soon  had  to  seek  more  commodious  quarters  and  hired 
a  rigging-loft  in  William  Street.  See  "History  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,"  by  Nathan  Bangs,  v.  1, 
New  York,  1838,  p.  49-50;  v.  2  has  a  portrait  of  the 
captain,  with  a  broad  band  over  one  eye.

42.  A  Plan  of  /  the  CITY  and  ENVIRONS

(In  lower  left  corner.)    Line  engraving. 

From  "Universal  magazine,"  London,  November, 
1776,  opposite  p.  225,  on  which  latter  appears  a  key 
to  the  reference  letters  on  the  map.  The  latter  illus- 
trates a  "Concise  history  of  the  origin  and  progress 
of  the  present  unhappydisputes  between  Great  Britain 
and  the  American  colonies,"  of  which  chapter  2  appears 
in  this  issue  of  the  magazine. 

Shows  NEW  YORK  ISLAND  and  PART  OF 
LONG  ISLAND.  Various  points  indicated  by  letters. 
Very  like  the  Ratzer  plan  (1776-77,  issued  1776, 
S  41),  but,  though  it  has  less  lettered  streets,  it  has 
additional  lettering.  For  instance,  two  blocks  of 
New  Buildings  not  Finished,  Ranelah  Gardens,  and 


Vauxhall  Gar.  on  the  west  shore.  Delaney's  [sicl] 
New  Square  appears,  which  fixes  date  at  least  after 
Oct.  31,  176S  (see  S  i:  343).  Major  Holland's  plan, 
1776,  appears  to  lack  streets  shown  on  the  present  one. 

42A.  The  Walton  House,  Pearl  Street. 
Large  tree  on  walk  to  left;  garden  wall,  trees 
and  shrubs  to  right.  In  lower  right  corner :  H . 
Reproduction  of  pen  drawing. 

Probably  drawn  by  Abram  S.  Hosier  (Directory 
1864/5-1877/8). 

Stokes,  in :  953:  "324-6  Pearl  St.  Erected  1752; 
demolished  1881." 

The  Bank  of  New  York  began  business  here  June 
9,  1784,  the  site  being  then  no.  67  St.  George's  Square 
(afterward  changed  to  Franklin  Square),  and  also 
known  as  no.  156  Queen  St.,  afterward  Pearl  St. 
The  bank  continued  to  occupy  a  part  of  this  building 
until  1787.  All  of  which  is  set  forth  in  Henry  W 
Dommett's  "History  of  the  Bank  of  New  York,"  1884, 
picture  opposite  p.  28  of  which  volume  shows  the 
garden  at  the  right,  but  no  tree  at  the  left.  Tree  and 
garden  wall,  seen  in  the  present  cut,  appear  also  in 
the  one  on  p.  305  of  J.  G.  Wilson's  "Memorial  history 
of  New  York,"  v.  2,  1892,  but  both  are  missing  in 
the  wood  engraving,  by  Mason  after  A.  J.  Davis,  in 
"New  York  Mirror,"  March  17,  1832.  The  design 
of  this  last  was  copied  repeatedly,  e.  g.  in  a  wood 
engraving  with  O  in  lower  right  corner,  and  in  the 
lithograph  in  Valentine's  Manual  for  1849,  p.  331. 
In  Mrs.  Lamb's  "History  of  New  York,"  1877,  v.  1, 
p.  684,  a  wood  engraving  by  Richardson  shows  a  gar- 
den wall  on  each  side  of  the  house,  instead  of  only 
on  the  right,  but  not  the  large  tree  on  the  walk,  left. 
This  cut  is  labeled  "Walton  House  in  1760,"  while 
the  cut  in  Domett's  book  is  dated  1784.  On  what 
possible  originals  the  two  last-mentioned  pictures  are 
founded,  does  not  appear,  but  one  may  perhaps  fix 
probable  date  of  depiction  at  1780. 

It  appears  that  about  1867  or  earlier  the  building 
became  a  boarding-house  for  sailors.  Robert  Macoy's 
"Illustrated  How  to  see  New  York,"  1876,  p.  70, 
shows  the  house  as  it  then  looked,  with  another  cut 
labeled  "1846"  by  way  of  comparison.  Several  of  the 
books  mentioned  tell  us  that  "formerly  the  garden 
extended  down  to  the  river,"  and  an  article  which  ap- 
peared in  "Harper's  weekly"  for  Nov.  12,  1881  (at 
which  time  the  building  was  being  demolished),  p. 
756,  states  that  "by  the  side  of  the  house  upon  the 
south  was  the  massive  garden  wall,  over  which  hung 
the  heavy  foliage  of  shrubs  and  trees.  In  the  wall 
was  the  garden  gate..."  From  what  picture  or 
description  the  writer  got  his  facts,  is  not  stated. 
With  these  notes  in  Harper's  appear  some  sketches 
by  Charles  Graham,  showing  the  house  as  it  then 
looked,  the  workmen  already  taking  it  down,  as  well 
as  some  interior  details.

f62.  THE  GOVERNMENT  HOUSE.  / 
This  edifice  was  erected  1790,  at  the  foot  of 
Broad-Way,  facing  the  Bowling  Green.  It 
was  originally  designed  for  the  Residence  of 
Genl.  Washington  (the  President  of  the  United 
States,)  but,  the  Capitol  being  removed,  he 
never  ocupied  it,  /  It  then  became  the  Gove- 
nor's  [sic!]  House;  and  was  the  residence  of 
Governors  George  Clinton  and  John  Jay.  The 
building  was  subsequently  used  for  the  Custom- 
House,  from  the  year  1799,  until  1815,  when  it 
was  taken  down.  Left :  FROM  THE  ORIGI-

Impression  listed  by  Stokes  has  address  Shakespeare 
Gallery,  May  1808,  instead  of  66  Nassau.  That  is 
presumably  the  1808  Longworth  map  reproduced  in 
"Valentine's  Manual"  for  1852.  Comparison  of  the 
present  plan,  the  one  about  1804  reproduced  in  "Valen- 
tine's Manual"  for  1849,  and  the  1852  production, 
shows  the  growth  of  the  city  northward,  as  well  as 
various  changes  in  names  of  streets.  Laight  Street, 
for  example,  which  was  "laid  out  prior  to  1797" 
(Stokes)  is  shown  in  the  present  plan,  but  not  named, 
as  it  is  in  the  1849  (1804)  lithograph  referred  to. 
Longworth  is  placed  at  66  Nassau  in  the  city  direc- 
tory during  1795-98  (after  that  at  the  Shakespeare 
Gallery,  11  Park);  Maverick  at  65  Liberty  during 
1795-1802.     All  of  which  places  this  plan  at  about 

1798,  the  1808  issue  being  probably  from  a  re-touched 
plate.

("Story  of  the  Volunteer  Fire  Department  of  the  City 
of  New  York,"  1882).  Later,  it  appears,  there  was 
a  Fireman's  Hall  at  127-129  Mercer  St.,  where  sub- 
sequently the  latest  and  best  known  one  was  erected. 
Philip  W.  Engs,  one  of  the  designers  of  this  print, 
was  at  one  time  president  of  the  Association  of  Exempt 
Firemen,  and  died  1875.  G.  B.  King,  the  engraver, 
was  working  for  New  York  publishers  during  1830-34, 
according  to  Stauffer;  he  appears  in  the  directory  as 
early  as  1817.

This  and  the  preceding,  says  Stokes  (ill:  579), 
"form  one  of  the  most  beautiful  pairs_  of  views  of 
New  York  in  the  19th  century."  This  view  from 
the  east  is  interesting  also  through  the  picture  of 
Brooklyn  Heights  in  the  foreground,  with  its  rural 
aspect,  post-and-rail  fence,  windmill  at  waterside,  and 
slender  promontory  jutting  out  into  East  River.

Theatre  (2d  building)."

ing 1536).   SIII:  908,  suppl.  259. 

Stokes  says  "engraved  in  1822."  H.  W.  Parker, 
librarian  of  the  General  Society,  states  that  according 
to  the  records  it  was  decided  in  Feb.,  1843,  to  have 
a  new  certificate,  embodying  a  picture  of  the  first 
building  used  under  charter.  But  1822  may  quite 
conceivably  be  fixed  as  the  date  of  this  picture  of  the 
school  building  at  12  Chambers  St.,  which  was  opened 
1821.  The  building  was  occupied  by  the  school  even 
after  the  Society  had  removed  (in  1832)  to  Broadway 
and  Crosby  St.,  and  until  the  school  was  abandoned 
in  1858,  and  it  was  not  demolished  for  forty  years 
or  so  after  that.  Charles  Canda,  designer  of  this 
certificate,  appears  in  the  directory  during  1824-40 
as  "professor  of  drawing";  after  that  he  ran  a  school. 

The  present  print,  a  reproduction  of  the  earlier 
certificate  (engraved  by  Abraham  Godwin  in  1786, 
and  of  which  there  is  a  late  impression  in  the  Library's 
general  collection),  and  a  page  (42)  with  a  reproduc- 
tion of  the  corner-stone  (1802)  of  the  earlier  building, 
which  two  last  also  came  with  the  Eno  Collection,  are 
all  taken  from  the  "Annals"  (1882)  of  the  Society.

Park  seen  from  the  south;  iron  fence,  four  high 
masonry  gate-posts  with  flat  tops.  BUTLER  S 
HOUSE  at  right.  Butler  had  a  "refectory  and  board- 
ing house"  at  7  Park  in  1823/4  and  1824/5,  according 
to  the  directory,  in  which  John  Evers  appears  from 
1822  on,  as  late  as  1857. 

In  the  Croton  Water  Celebration  lithograph  pub- 
lished by  J.  F.  Atwill,  and  in  a  wood  engraving  (about 
1835  ?):  VIEW  OF  BROADWAY  (see  no.  155),  both 
in  the  Eno  Collection,  the  masonry  posts  referred  to 
have  spherical  tops  added.  In  Currier's  Park,  Foun- 
tain, and  City  Hall  (1851)  the  gates  are  of  iron. 

The  Park  Theatre  in  this  print,  as  in  nos.  91  and 
97  of  this  list,  and  as  in  that  of  1831,  published  in 
Valentine's  Manual  for  1855,  does  not  have  the  pedi- 
ment with  shield  and  eagle.  These  appear  in  a  wood 
engraving,  from  "The  American  historical  record"  for 
March,  1872,  and  in  a  cut  in  an  article  on  "The  old 
theatres  of  New  York,"  dated  Nov.  23,  1872,  lettered 
First  Park  Theatre.  Facsimile  of  an  Etching  in  the 
New  York  Historical  Society  Library,  1796,  both  also 
in  the  Eno  Collection.  These  may  be  pictures  of 
the  first  Park  Theatre,  which,  however,  according  to 
Stokes  (in:  988),  was  opened  at  21-25  Park  Row  in 
1798,  destroyed  by  fire  1820,  rebuilt  and  reopened 
1821,  destroyed  by  fire  1848. 

The  Eno  Collection  includes  a  wood  engraving  after 
the  water-color  by  John  Searle  (latter  reproduced  by 
Stokes,  plate  91).  This  shows  the  interior  of  the 
Park  Theatre  in  1822,  with  Charles  Mathews  and 
Miss  Johnson  on  the  stage,  and  an  audience  for  which 
there  is  a  key  on  the  photograph  of  the  painting  issued 
by  Elias  Dexter  in  1868.  Stokes  (in:  576r577)  gives 
much  detailed  information  about  this  painting  and  the 
theatre.

rick Set.  Issued  1826.  Line  engraving. 
S94-b;  Stauffer  2271. 

Castle  Garden  appears  as  a  circular  building,  ap- 
parently without  the  two  added  structures  at  the  front 
shown  in  a  small  wood  engraving  in  the  Eno  Collec- 
tion, by  Gilbert  after  Breton.  (During  the  War  of 
1812,  according  to  Dunlap,  William  Mason  "relin- 
quished his  wood  engraving  to  his  pupil,  George  Gil- 
bert." Neither  Gilbert  nor  Breton  have  been  found 
in  the  directory,  1812-33.)  These  additional  struc- 
tures, especially  the  high  gate  at  the  front  of  the 
building  and  the  square-arched  gate  at  the  land  end 
of  the  connecting  bridge,  appear  also  in  a  somewhat 
later  wood  engraving  in  the  Eno  Collection,  taken 
from  "The  World  as  it  is."  The  land-end  gate  has  a 
curved  arch  and  a  pediment  in  the  engraving  by 
Dougal  after  Wade  (about  1849),  in  the  lithographed 
title  of  the  Castle  Garden  Schottisch  (1852),  and  in 
the  lithograph  in  Valentine's  Manual  for  1852.

showing  less  detail  in  gate,  windows,  etc.  Beyond 
City  Hall  is  "Academy  of  Arts  /  Lyceum."  The 
Academy,  chartered  1808,  removed  to  Chambers  St. 
1816,  is  located  there  by  the  directory  until  1831/2, 
and  from  1832/3  on  at  Syi  Barclay.  Its  effects,  says 
T.  S.  Cummings  ("Historic  annals  of  the  National 
Academy  of  Design")  were  sold  at  auction  in  1841.

Two  hunters,  with  dogs,  seated  in  foreground.  In 
pencil:  "Very  coarse  and  badly  colored,  but  showing 
the  lay  correctly."  Written  by  Davis,  says  his  son 
John  B.  Davis,  who  thinks  that  this  was  the  artist's 
maiden  effort  on  stone.  Stokes  (in:  579),  noting 
that  this  is  very  similar  to  the  Wall-Hill  New-York 
from  Weehawk,  states  that  it  "is  ascribed  by  Davis's 
son  to  the  year  1828."  Michael  Williams  is  placed  at 
8  Watts  in  the  directory  of  1828/9,  is  not  listed  in 
1827/8  nor  in  1829/30-1841/2,  and  appears  in  1843/4

Joseph  B.  Davis,  son  of  the  artist,  states  that  his 
father's  papers  fix  the  date  at  1828,  and  that  100  im- 
pressions were  taken.  The  directory  places  Redmond 
at  this  address  during  1830/31-1835/6,  and  Grattan 
at  22  Wall  during  1828/9-1831/2.  This  United  States 
Hotel  is  listed  in  Disturnell's  Guide  to  New  York  in 
1836  but  not  in  1837.  See  also  the  United  States

it  was  removed  to  the  Astor  Place  Opera  House,  on 
the  site  of  which  the  Mercantile  Library  is  still  (1925) 
located,  at  the  top  of  an  office  building.  The  Mercan- 
tile Library  Association  was  formed  in  1820,  incor- 
porated in  1823,  had  a  room  at  49  Fulton  St.,  1821-

by  M.  Osborne  (Fay's  "Views  in... New  York," 
1831),  a  small  line  engraving  (with  interesting  details 
such  as  street  lamps,  vehicles,  —  one  delivering 
baskets  of  various  shapes  —  etc.),  and  a  wood  engrav- 
ing from  the  "Mirror,'*  Oct.  28,  1837.  "The  Mirror," 
in  the  accompanying  text,  informs  us  that  "New  York, 
in  its  progressive  improvements,  is  gradually  losing 
its  picturesqueness."  This  in  1837!  Stephen  Holt, 
"victualler,"  25  Fulton  (north  east  corner  of  Pearl) 
is  listed  in  the  directory  1828/9-1832/3,  and  "Holt's 
Hotel,"  200  Water,  1833/4-1838/9. 

Stokes  (in:  981)  lists  this  hotel:  "begun  1827; 
completed  1829;  known  first  as  Holt's  and  later  as 
the  United  States  Hotel. .  .demolished  1902.  Drawing 
by  A.  J.  Davis,  Iitho.  by  Imbert.  Pyne  cat.  no.  373." 
But  the  Davis  drawing  depicts  an  earlier  United  States 
Hotel,  at  178  Pearl  St.  (see  no.  114). 

The  Water  street  building  appears  as  United  States 
Hotel  (H.  Johnson,  proprietor)  in  "The  Great  me- 
tropolis," 1847  edition,  and  also  in  a  wood  engraving 
by  ALLANSON,  in  the  Eno  Collection.  This  latter 
is  on  a  page  (195,  text  196)  from  the  "Pictorial 
library  of  useful  information,"  and  is  lettered: 
UNITED  STATES  HOTEL,  IN  NEW  YORK.

this  noble  building  was  laid  on  the  26th  of 
September,  1803,  during  the  Mayoralty  of 
Edward  /  Livingston,  Esq.  and  at  a  time  when 
the  Yellow  Fever  prevailed  in  the  City.  It  was 
finished  in  1812,  and  the  expense  ex  /  elusive 
of  the  furniture  amounted  to  half  a  million  of 
Dollars.  The  first  story,  including  the  portico, 
is  of  the  Ionic,  the  /  second  of  the  Corinthian, 
the  attic  of  the  Fancy,  and  the  Cupola  of  the 
Composite  orders.  /  (Printed  and  sold  by  W.

Cutting  from  Anderson  Galleries  sale  of  Feb.  20-

chief, that  lotteries  were  abolished  in  New  York  in 
1833,  and  that  the  "E.  C.  T."  in  the  upper  left  corner 
is  "worked  in  early  sampler  stitch."  Applegate  is

The  building  on  the  old  downtown  site.  King's 
College  was  west  of  Broadway,  between  Barclay  and 
Murray  streets.  In  1 RS 7.  Columbia  went  to  Madison 
Ave.,  between  49th  and  50th  streets,  where  it  first 
occupied  the  building  of  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  Asylum. 
Hamilton  Hall  was  there  completed  in  1879.  The 
present  site  was  dedicated  1896. 

John  Pendleton  appears  in  the  New  York  City  di- 
rectory during  1830-33.  This  view  is  very  like  the 
line  engraving  (1831)  by  Fenner  Sears  &  Co.,  after 
A.  J.  Davis,  even  to  identity  of  certain  groups  of 
figures.  But  the  trees  near  the  building,  shown  in 
the  copper-plate  engraving,  do  not  appear  in  this  litho- 
graph.

Among  interesting  points  are  four-horse  stages,  one 
lettered  GREENWICH  AND  WALL  ST.,  a  two- 
wheeled  ice-wagon  with  a  prairie-schooner  cover,  pecu- 
liar forms  of  carriages,  men  sawing  wood  on  the  drive- 
way, poles  and  cross-pieces  extending  along  outer  edge 
of  sidewalk,  apparently  meant  to  hang  goods  on,  and 
similar  to  the  structures  from  which,  later,  awnings 
were  stretched,  a  negro  carrying  a  string  of  boots 
hanging  from  a  long  pole  carried  horizontally,  and 
swinging  signboards. 

Niblo's  Garden,  n.  e.  corner  Broadway  and  Prince, 
seen  in  the  distance  here,  is  shown  in  detail  in  a  small 
wood  engraving  among  the  miscellaneous  material  in 
the  Eno  Collection.  It  is  cut  from  Valentine's  Manual 
for  1865,  p.  631,  is  entitled  NIBLO'S  GARDEN, 
CORNER  OF  BROADWAY  AND  PRINCE 
STREET,  1828,  and  presents  low-columned  structures, 
with  a  pediment  centre,  to  the  right  of  two  three-story 
houses.  On  the  back  is  another  cut,  —  NIBLO'S 
GARDEN  AND  THEATRE,  1845,  in  which  the  low 
buildings  have  given  way  to  a  high  wooden  fence. 

It  is  amusing  to  compare  this  view  of  Broadway 
at  Canal  St.  with  one  of  the  same  locality  forty  years 
later,  in  a  wood  engraving  by  Richardson  N.  Y.  that 
floated  into  the  Library's  portfolios  with  the  Eno  Col- 
lection. That  shows  the  NORTH-EAST  CORNER 
CANAL  STREET  AND  BROADWAY  (site  of  the 
Hygeian  Depot),  with  signs  of  BALDWIN  THE 
CLOTHIER  and  CARHART,  WHITFORD  &  CO. 
on  the  building.  It  is  cut  from  "Baldwin's  monthly" 
for  Sept.,  1878,  but  the  picture  shows  the  spot  depicted 
at  least  as  early  as  1875,  for  in  that  year  a  smaller 
cut  of  the  same  design  appeared  in  the  same  periodi- 
cal for  July.  Oran  S.  Baldwin,  who  was  at  this  ad- 
dress (418  and  420  Broadway)  from  1868  until  well 
into  the  eighties,  published  this  little  pink-paper  maga- 
zine for  a  number  of  years,  among  his  contributors 
being  T.  B.  Thorpe  and  Frederick  Saunders,  librarian 
of  the  Astor  Library.

Left :  Drawn  and  Engraved  by  T.  Hornor. 
Right :  Printed  by  W.  Neale.  Etching.  Lower 
portion  printed  black,  upper  blue.   S  120. 

The  city,  in  the  background,  outlined  with  careful 
insistence  on  each  building,  offers  a  bit  of  a 
puzzle  in  the  identification  of  the  various  structures. 
A  most  interesting  feature  is  the  foreground,  crowded 
with  shipping,  —  river  steamers,  a  ferry-boat,  sail- 
boats discharging  their  cargo  at  wharfs  on  both  the 
Brooklyn  and  New  York  sides,  and  a  war  vessel  with 
three  square-rig  masts  and  three  gun  decks.  All  drawn 
in  great  detail,  yet  with  a  certain  free,  sketchy  stroke. 
In  fact,  the  foreground  has  an  unfinished  appearance, 
the  water,  apart  from  the  reflections  or  shadows  of 
the  vessels  (and  even  these  are  omitted  in  some  cases), 
being  left  white.  The  wooded  hills  of  the  Jersey 
shore  stretch  along  with  very  few  buildings,  but  with 
a  large  windmill  toward  the  left,  apparently  on  a  small 
island  near  the  shore.  This  is  one  of  the  most  inter- 
esting of  general  views  of  the  city  of  the  1825-1850 
period.  A  cutting  from  an  auction  catalogue,  item 
no.  331,  tells  us  that  the  print  is  "Extremely  rare. 
Only  three  other  copies  known...  The  etching  was 
first  printed  in  a  light  green  ink,  and  the  foreground 
and  middle  colored  by  hand  afterwards  in  varied  tints. 
The  City  is  shown  from  a  little  above  the  Battery  to 
about  Canal  Street."

In  this  print,  as  in  the  "Mirror"  (1829)  engraving, 
and  in  the  wood  engraving  in  the  "Family  magazine" 
(New  York,  v.  8,  1840,  p.  277)  the  four  points  project- 
ing above  the  facade  are  long  and  pointed;  in  the  en- 
graving by  J.  Smillie  after  C.  Burton  they  are  short 
and  blunted.  Later  they  seem  to  have  disappeared 
(see  below).  Stokes  (in:  985)  informs  us  that  the 
corner-stone  was  laid  in  1826,  and  that  the  building 
was  demolished  in  1841.  But  Robert  Macoy,  in  his 
"Centennial  illustrated  how  to  see  New  York"  (1876), 
p.  54,  says  that  "after  the  'Anti-Masonic  excitement' 
the  prosperity  of  the  Masonic  Hall  gradually  waned, 
and  its  name  was  changed  to  Gothic  Hall.  A  few  years 
since  it  was  demolished."  "N.  Y.  Times."  May  26, 
1856:  "Gothic  Hall  is  being  torn  down."  In  the  direc- 
tory it  is  listed,  314-6  Broadway,  until  1840/1.  In 
1841/2  appears  this  comment:  "Masonic  Hall,  gone,  and 
not  a  cent  of  principal  or  interest  saved  to  the  stock- 
holders." But  Gothic  Hall  then  appears,  and  at  least 
as  late  as  1852/3,  at  same  address,  between  Duane 
and  Pearl  Sts.  In  Rode's  directory  for  1850/1,  oppo- 
site p.  456,  there  is  a  full-page  advertisement  of 
GOTHIC  HALL.  /  A.  L.  SCOV1LL  &  CO.,  PRO- 
PRIETORS I  NO.  316  BROADWAY,  NEW-YORK. 
With  this  is  a  picture  of  the  building  (wood  engrav-

This  poor  print  has  its  chief  interest  in  the  numer-

a  view  looking  northward,  enlivened  by  a  detachment 
of  soldiers,  with  band.  Chatham  Square  block  in  centre

BEDLOES  AND  ELLIS'S  ISLANDS  appear  about

Bird's  eye  view,  looking  south  from  Union  Square, 
then  Union  Park,  part  of  which,  with  fountain  with 
elaborate  water  jet,  and  with  iron  fence,  is  shown. 
A  most  interesting  picture,  especially  in  its  details  of 
the  Union  Square  section  when  it  was  a  residence 
district.  Various  buildings,  especially  churches,  which 
have  long  since  disappeared,  are  clearly  drawn,  among 
others  the  city  reservoir,  a  tower-like  structure  on 
13th  St.,  east  of  4th  Ave.  On  the  latter  avenue  is 
running  a  two-horse  street  car,  and  a  four -horse  one 
with  a  "trailer."  A  noticeable  feature  is  the  pre- 
dominance of  shade  trees;  they  line  University  Place, 
Broadway  to  about  Houston  St.,  4th  Ave.  opposite 
the  park,  West  16th  St.,  Fifth  Ave.,  and  other  streets. 
Detailed  presentation  of  private  houses  extends  even 
to  the  back-yards.  This  print  is  copied  on  a  greatly 
reduced  scale,  and  without  credit  given,  in  a  wood

Shows  corner  of  Lafayette  Place  (now  Lafayette 
St.),  and  the  church,  later  a  theatre,  on  site  now 
forming  part  of  south  end  of  new  Wanamaker  store. 
Indifferent  though  the  drawing  is,  it  is  apparently  by 
one  who  had  some  practice  as  an  illustrator.  _  Eno 
Collection  includes  also  a  woodcut  representation  of 
this  scene,  W.  N.  DUNN  EL  SC.,  printed  on  blue 
paper,  cover  of  the  pamphlet  issued  at  the  time  — 
"Account  of  the  terrific  and  fatal  riot."

The  original  of  the  lithograph  published  by  Currier 
(no.  240)  the  same  year.  But  the  latter  shows  changes 
in  the  figures  and  boats.  The  drawing  has  lost  some 
of  its  lightness  in  the  drawing  on  the  stone.

Full  page  advertisement  from  the  New  York  Direc- 
tory for  1848/9;  the  same  cut,  somewhat  worn,  ap- 
pears again  in  the  1850/1  issue.  In  the  directory 
for  1846/7  Matthew  B.  Brady  is  listed  "jewel  case 
manf.  187  Broadway  and  daguerreotype  gallery  161 
Fulton";  in  1847/8.  "daguerreotyper,  205  Broadway." 
Brady  soon  moved  again;  the  "Illustrated  News," 
New  York  of  June  11,  1853,  has  an  interior  view  of 
"Brady's  new  daguerreotype  gallery,  359  Broadway." 
The  gallery  at  205  is  shown  also  in  the  Hill-Papprill 
view  (no.  231)  and  in  Kollner's  "Broadway"  (no. 
248).

Bachmann  appears  in  directory  only  during  1851/2- 
1853/4.  Williams  &  Stevens  were  at  this  address  in 
the  'forties,  and  in  1851/2  appear  as  Williams,  Stevens 
&  Williams.  "Looking  glasses"  says  the  directory; 
this  firm,  like  T.  Kelly  and  others,  apparently  did  a 
little  publishing  as  a  "side  issue." 


243.  CORPORAL  THOMPSON  /  MADI- 
SON COTTAGE  cor.  of  Broadway  23rd  St. 
&  5th  Ave.  I  NEW  YORK.  /  N  B.  Stages 
leave  every  4  minutes.    Line  engraving. 

An  advertising  card,  with  the  glazed  surface  once 
much  used.  A  two-horse  and  a  four-horse  stage  appear 
in  front  of  the  cottage.  Corporal  Thompson's  Madi- 
son Cottage  is  listed  in  the  directory  during  1846/7- 
1851/2. 

"Fifth  Avenue,"  says  Hopper  Striker  Mott,  in  his 
"The  New  York  of  yesterday,"  p.  6,  "was  ordered 
opened  in  1837...  In  1839... the  Mildeberger  home- 
stead was  removed  to  the  corner  where  the  Fifth  Ave- 
nue Hotel  stands,  and  was  used  as  a  tavern  known  as 
Madison  Cottage. .  .for  13  years  (1839-52)." 

Eno  Collection  includes  also  1852.  FIFTH  AVE. 
COR.  23D  STREET,  NEW  YORK.  /  SITE  OF  THE 
I  SECOND  NATIONAL  BANK,  a  lithographic  re- 
production of  a  line  engraving.  This  combines  the 
building  and  stages  of  the  present  Madison  Cottage 
plate  with  the  foreground,  background,  and  trees  and 
lamp  posts  on  the  left,  in  the  Baldwin-Gleason  pro- 
duction (no.  421). 

243 A.  THE  CITY -HALL.  Lower  right 
corner:  LOSSING-BARR1TT.  Wood  en- 
graving. 

Posts  and  chains  around  grass-plots.  Soldiers 
marching  past,  through  the  Park.  Lossing-Barritt 
firm  name  appears  in  directory  1847/8-1868/9. 

243B.  Building  labeled  /.  DENT'S  HOTEL. 
Building  to  left  lettered  APOLLO.  Right, 
reversed  :  W.  WADE  DEL.  Embossed  stamp 
of  Society  of  Iconophiles.   Line  engraving. 

Pencil  note:  "Dent's  Ale  Vaults  400  Broadway 
near  Walker.  Plate  owned  by  Wm.  L.  Andrews, 
50  printed  and  presented  to  Iconophiles,  25  with  letter, 
2t  without,  and  plate  destroyed.  Circular  states  'en- 
graved by  Wade  about  1830.'  Plate  has  it  W.  Wade 
del  (reversed).  I  knew  Wade  very  well  —  but  only 
as  a  designer  on  wood."  Handwriting  resembles  that 
of  S.  P.  Avery,  who  was  engraving  on  wood  in  New 
York  in  the  'forties  and  'fifties.  Wade  appears  in 
the  directory  1845-52;  Dent  does  not. 

The  Library  has  also  an  impression  of  this  plate 
with  inscription:  Above:  DENT'S  ALE  VAULTS; 
below:  No.  400  Broadway  cor.  Walker  Street;  left: 
Joseph  Dent;  right:  New  York;  running  up  left  mar- 
gin: FINE  ALES;  running  down  right  margin:  OAT 
DRAUGHT.  Evidently  one  of  the  twenty-five  re- 
ferred to  above  as  "with  letter." 

This  Dent  picture  is  a  later  impression  from  the 
plate  made  originally  for  the  Florence  Hotel.  The 
latter  has  the  following  inscription:  Above:  FLO- 
RENCE HOTEL;  below:  No.  400  Broadzvay  cor. 
Walker  Street;  left;  Moulton  &  Sloat;  right:  New 
York;  Running  up  left  margin:  John  G.  Sloat;  run- 
ning down  right  margin:  Otis  M.  Moulton.  This 
indicates  the  changes  made  in  the  Dent  state  of  the 
plate,  in  which  also  the  FLORENCE  on  the  Broad- 
way side  of  the  building  has  been  crudely  altered  to 
J.  DENT,  while  the  HOTEL  on  the  Walker  St.  side 
has  been  left  intact.  Moulton  &  Sloat  are  placed  at 
this  address  only  in  the  directory  for  1849-50.  After 
that,  Sloat  alone  appears  for  a  time;  the  Florence 
Hotel  drops  from  the  directory  after  1862.  The  origi- 
nal plate  was  therefore  apparently  engraved  about 
1850.    When  Dent  came  has  not  been  ascertained. 

As  to  the  "Apollo"  building,  that  was  at  412  Broad- 
way, "erected  (Stokes  in:  982)  c.  1837  as  Euterpean 
Hall,  later  Apollo  Saloon,"  etc.  The  Apollo  Saloon 
appears  in  the  directory  in  the  late  'forties  and  early 
'fifties.  Chas.  H.  Haswell,  in  his  "Reminiscences  of 
an  octogenarian"  (1897,  p.  417),  says,  under  date 
1844:  "In  Broadway  at  412,  near  Lispenard  St.,  there 
was  the  Apollo  Ballroom,  a  very  popular  resort  for 
a  grade  of  politicians  who  were  opposed  to  Tammany 
Hall.  In  later  days  it  was  the  headquarters  of  the 
Apollo  Hall  or  Wood  Democracy."

Nos.  252-270  are  nineteen  of  the  series  of  litho- 
graphed VIEWS  OF  NEW-YORK  issued  by  Henry 
Hoff  in  1850.  The  series  comprises  twenty  plates,  the 
one  here  missing  being  that  of  High  Bridge,  and  was 
issued  with  a  title  in  gold:  The  Empire  City  of  New- 
York.  Twenty  beautiful  colored  views.  These  nine- 
teen are  all  represented  by  proofs,  usually  with  the  art- 
ist's signature,  which  is  never  that  of  the  C.  Autenrieth 
credited  with  the  draughtsmanship  in  the  impressions 
of  the  published  state,  with  full  inscriptions.  Of  the 
latter,  there  are  four  here,  colored,  and  with  printed 
decorative  border  in  gold  enclosing  inscription  above 
and  below.  In  these,  the  picture  itself,  with  margin 
entirely  trimmed  off,  is  mounted  on  the  card  on  which 
border  and  inscription  are  printed,  the  picture  thus 
being  set  within  the  border.  The  proofs  here  listed 
all  have  margins  of  54  inches  or  more.

Feb.  12,  1853,  p.  112,  with  a  grandiloquent  description 
of  the  luxury  and  comfort  of  the  establishment,  the 
silver  shaving  utensils  "with  classic  designs,"  the 
"clean  hair-brush  for  every  visitor,"  the  "conversa-

after  C.  Burton,  as  well  as  the  plate  in  Disturnell's 
"Guide  to  New  York"  (1836).  J.  F.  Richmond,  in 
"New  York  and  its  institutions"  (New  York,  1872), 
p.  531,  says  that  the  "Southern  wing  was  begun  soon 
after  the  purchase  of  the  island  in  1828,  the  central 
portion  was  next  added,  and  the  northern  wings  are 
the  result  of  subsequent  additions."  According  to 
King's  "Handbook  of  New  York  City"  (2d  ed.,  1893) 
the  main  building  was  erected  in  1832  and  the  north- 
ern wing  in  1858.

"Illustrated  News,"  New  York,  Jan.  IS,  1853,  p.  45. 
"When  finished,"  says  the  text  in  that  weekly,  "this 
beautiful  and  stately  building  will  be  used  as  a 
receptacle  for  the  artillery  of  the  First  Division  of 
the  New  York  State  Militia."  Its  glories  were  fore- 
shadowed in  "Picture  of  New  York  in  1846,"  p.  74: 
"We  are  likely  soon  to  have  a  handsome  building  in 
place  of  the  insufficient  shanty  that  now  cumbers  the 
place."  A  cut  from  the  "New  York  Herald"  of  Dec.

Union  Square  from  the  north  west,  evidently  taken 
from  the  house  of  David  Austen  (not  Austin),  placed 
by  the  directory  at  31  Union  Place,  at  Broadway  and 
16th  St.,  during  1840-52.  The  Washington  statue 
(given  to  the  city  in  1854)  does  not  appear.  The 
iron  railing  (1835-71)  around  the  Park  is  there,  as 
is  the  fountain  (added  1842).  The  public  reservoir  in 
13th  St.  near  4th  Ave.  appears  as  a  double  structure 
(two  towers)  with  tv/o  turrets  connected  by  a  foot- 
bridge. Only  one  tower-like  building  appears  in  Bur- 
ton's drawing  (Bourne  views,  plate  17,  1830);  Pea- 
body  views  (plate  13,  1832,  showing  also  the  Washing- 
ton Institute,  and  copied  in  Valentine's  Manual  for 
1853  and  elsewhere);  "Family  magazine"  (New  York), 
1839;  Valentine's  Manual,  1844;  Bachmann's  bird's- 
eye  view  of  the  citv,  1849  (no.  237);  the  similar 
bird's-eye  view  in  "Gleason's  Pictorial"  for  May  15, 
1852;  the  Bornet  lithograph  of  1850;  and  the  view  of 
Union  Park  issued  by  Magnus  about  1854  (no.  325). 

This  reservoir,  says  Stokes  (in:  976),  was  begun 
1829,  added  to  1832,  further  enlarged  1837.  Reports 
of  the  Board  of  Aldermen  1849-55  throw  no  light  on 
the  matter.  A.  E.  Costello  ("Our  firemen,"  New 
York,  1887,  p.  311-312)  cites  a  report  by  the  Com- 
mon Council's  Committee  on  Fire  Department  (1830) 
that  there  was  "erected  a  stone  tower,  44  feet  in 
diameter  and  27  feet  high"  and  that  there  was  "in 
course  of  construction  an  iron  tank  of  43  feet  diameter 
and  20  feet  high."  But  this  apparent  explanation  of 
Calyo's  two  towers  is  nullified  by  this  passage  in 
Edward  Wegmann's  "Water-supply  of  the  city  of 
New  York"  (New  York,  1896,  p.  16):  "This  was 
the  beginning  of  the  public  water-works  of  the  city..  . 
The  water  was  pumped. .  .into  a  cast-iron  tank,  en- 
closed by  an  octagonal  stone  building  having  a  height 
of  27  feet  above  the  surface  of  the  street.  The  tank 
had  a  diameter  of  43  feet,  a  height  of  20J4  feet."  So 
the  puzzle  remains  unsolved. 

Various  buildings  on  4th  Ave.  and  on  14th  St., 
in  this  print,  differ  from  those  in  the  Bachmann  view 
above  referred  to.  Calyo  appears  in  the  directory 
1839-55;  J.  N.  Gimbrede  was  working  in  New  York 
in  the  'forties  and  'fifties.

"descriptive  of  the  Annual  Parade... the  approach  of 
night... the  alarm  of  fire... the  rattle  of  engines... 
the  elemental  war... and  the  VICTORY."  The  dedi- 
cation is  signed  in  autograph  by  Jullien,  who  was  on 
tour  here,  and  whose  somewhat  spectacular  methods 
as  a  conductor  were  caricatured  by  F.  O.  C.  Darley

the  Crystal  Palace  itself  was  destroyed  by  fire.

Underneath,  28  lines,  in  double  columns,  des- 
cribing this  block,  containing  "eleven  indepen- 
dent dwellings." 

Change  of  lettering  to  "House  of  Mansions"  occurs 
also  on  other  impressions,  in  the  New  York  Historical 
Society  and  The  New  York  Public  Library.  The 
latter  institution  has  a  copy  of  "Rural  residences" 
(1837)  by  A.  J.  Davis,  with  an  inserted  copy  of  this 
circular,  with  the  same  change,  probably  by  Davis 
himself,  as  are  also  no  doubt  the  additions  sketched 
in  on  the  cut  by  hand,  —  extra  cupolas,  etc.  —  in 
both  that  and  the  present  (Eno)  copy.    The  block  of 


houses  does  not  appear  on  the  Smith-Wellstood  view 
of  the  city  in  1855,  and  was  probably  erected  about 
1856  (1855,  says  Stokes,  in:  941).  A  lithograph, 
from  which  this  present  wood  engraving  may  have 
been  copied,  is  listed  as  S  148-b.  It  is  probably  the 
one  used  in  connection  with  the  auction  sale  of  the 
four  southerly  dwellings  in  the  block  advertised  Oct. 
4,  1859.  The  Rutgers  Female  Institute  (from  1867, 
Rutgers  Female  College)  moved  into  the  northern 
part  of  this  row  ("purchased  at  cost  of  $60,000,"  says 
the  New  York  Times  of  June  18,  1860).  From  1861 
to  1863  the  address  was  435-439  Fifth  Ave.,  after 
that  487-491.  The  difference  is  explained  by  a  reso- 
lution adopted  Dec,  1863  by  the  Aldermen  and  Coun- 
cilmen,  "that  Fifth  Avenue  be  renumbered  immedi- 
ately."   After  1885  the  College  was  in  55th  Street. 

The  present  woodcut  appears  also  in  the  "Celebra- 
tion of  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  Rutgers 
Female  Institute"  (1864).

Directory  places  John  P.  Treadwell  at  515  Broad- 
way 1859/60-1862/3.  In  a  wood  engraving  in  "Glea- 
son's  Pictorial"  for  1853  this  hotel  has  not  as  long  a 
front,  by  a  dozen  windows,  as  in  the  present  print, 
which  shows  the  building  extended  northward  to  the 
next  corner.

HOTEL."  Lithograph ;  colored.  Pyne  sale

Sin:  980:  "Stevens  House,  25-27  Broadway,  1 
Morris  St.  Opened  by  Joseph  and  Lorenzo  Delmonico 
1846.  Opened  as  Stevens  House  1856..."  Stevens 
House  listed  in  directory  1858/9-1878/9,  but  John 
O'Grady  is  at  this  address  ("hotel")  in  1856/7,  and  in 
Disturnell's  "Picturesque  tourist"  (1858)  there  is  an 
advertisement  of  the  "Stevens  House,  John  O'Grady, 
proprietor,"  with  woodcut  showing  two  buildings 
labeled  DELMONICO.  (For  picture  of  Delmonico's 
see  no.  305,  1853.) 

The  City  Hotel  is  pictured  S  125  (1839-41),  and 
in  nos.  137  (1831),  145  (1832)  in  the  present  list. 
Stokes  (hi:  689)  says:  "The  building  was  probably 
demolished  1849... and  a  block  of  stores  erected  on 
the  site."  The  building  as  it  appears  here  is 
different  from  that  of  the  old  City  Hotel.  Henry 
Swift  &  Co.,  "grocers,"  are  first  placed  here  (117 
Broadway)  by  the  directory  in  1860/61;  in  1866/7 
the  address  is  166  Pearl. 

In  the  present  print  the  Soldiers'  (Martyrs')  Monu- 
ment appears  in  Trinity  churchyard.  That,  according 
to  Morgan  Dix's  "History  of  the  parish  of  Trinity 
Church"  (New  York,  1906,  part  4),  was  "completed 
and  put  in  position"  in  the  early  part  of  1858,  oppo- 
site Pine  St.,  on  the  line  on  which  the  proposed  ex- 
tension of  Albany  St.  was  to  have  been  carried  out." 
And  so  the  street  was  not  run  through  the  church- 
yard. 

All  of  this  fixes  the  date  at  about  1860. 

This  interesting  lithograph  is  similar  to  the  Jones- 
Newman  publication  (no.  222,  1848),  but  more  free 
in  drawing,  and  with  pedestrians  and  vehicles  dotting 
the  streets.

is  passing.  Stages  on  Fourth  Ave.;  Everett  House 
beyond.    Union  Square  enclosed  by  iron  railing. 

Barnum  joined  with  the  Van  Amburgh  Menagerie 
in  1867,  and  their  building  at  539  Broadway  was 
burned  in  1868.  That  fixes  the  date  of  this  print 
in  the  early  sixties.

GEN'L  AGENTS,  121  NASSAU  ST.  NEW 
YORK.  Left:  Derby  del.  Centre:  Entered 
...1862... by  B.  Derby.  Lithograph;  the 
posters  colored  in  part. 

Although  this  is  not  a  view,  the  posters  which 
thickly  cover  the  wall  beside  which  the  hill-sticker  lies 
sleeping,  give  some  idea  of  what  was  going  on  in 
New  York  at  the  time.  Among  the  announcements 
are:  Barnum's  Museum,  Miss  Cushman  at  the  Winter 
Garden.  Brandreth's  Pills,  Fernando  Wood  for  Mayor, 
Laura  Keene's  Theatre,  Edward  Everett's  address  at 
the  Academy  of  Music  for  the  Mount  Vernon  Fund, 
Ethan  Allen  to  run  on  the  Fashion  Course,  Central 
Park  Skating  Pond.  The  posters  are  arranged  in 
such  juxtaposition  that  on  following  the  direction  to 
"read  downward"  one  gets  combinations  which  place 
prominent  people  in  peculiar  positions,  and  likewise 
illustrate  methods  of  the  contemporary  humorist.

This  advertisement  takes  its  place  modestly  beside 
the  more  important  prints,  as  something  that  one 
might,  at  first  thought,  not  expect  to  find  there.  But 
also  one  would  hardly  expect  to  find  such  a  subject 
among  the  works  of  the  poet-painter  Cranch.  Beside 
which,  the  scene  depicted  is  one  of  some  interest. 
All  of  which  combines  to  make  this  an  amusing  con- 
tribution, at  least,  to  the  iconography  of  the  city.

P.  T.  Barnum  acquired  Scudder's  American  Mu- 
seum (founded  1810),  at  Broadway  and  Ann  St., 
in  1841,  opening  there  Jan.  1,  1842  (see  no.  307). 
This  building  burned  down  July  13,  186S  (see  no. 
379),  after  which  the  site  was  acquired  by  the  "New 
York  Herald."  On  Nov.  13,  1865,  Barnum  re-opened 
his  museum  at  Broadway  and  Prince  St.  As  he  him- 
self says,  "Barnum's  New  American  Museum  was  at 
535-539  Broadway,  on  premises  formerly  known  as 
the  'Chinese  Museum  Buildings.'"  In  1867  he  joined 
with  the  Van  Amburgh  menagerie  (see  nos.  210, 
361A).  The  new  building  burned  March  3,  1868, 
and  Van  Amburgh's  collection  of  lions  and  tigers 
"died  painfully,"  says  M.  R.  Werner,  in  his  "Bar-

According  to  Stokes  (in:  982),  Brougham's  Ly-

(1852),  George  L.  Fox  and  others  successively  took 
hold;  in  1865  it  became  the  Broadway  Theatre  and 
was  demolished  in  1869.  The  "Woman  in  White," 
with  Julia  Dean  Hayne,  was  performed  here  in  July 
and  Oct.,  1867,  according  to  T.  Allston  Brown's  "His- 
tory of  the  New  York  Stage"  (v.  1,  1903,  p.  517),

the  amusing  figures  peopling  the  streets  as  far  off

no  dome,  but  cranes  in  place,  apparently  for  its  con- 
struction. In  "New  York  illustrated"  (1885)  the 
dome  appears;  King's  "Handbook  of  New  York  City" 
(2d  ed.,  1893,  p.  262)  states  that  "the  dome  is  not 
yet  finished,"  and  in  the  photograph  by  Underhill 
(1908)  reproduced  by  Stokes  (v.  m,  plate  163)  there 
is  still  only  the  rudiment  of  a  dome.

The  Beach  Pneumatic  Transit  Co.  issued  in  1872  a 
folio  pamphlet,  "The  Broadway  Underground  Rail- 
way. Route  and  Plan  of  Construction."  This  showed 
a  railway  running  in  two  tubes,  reminiscent  of  the 
old  London  underground.  Subway  transit  was  in  the 
air  at  the  time.

From  "Putnam's  magazine"  for  August,  1870.  In 
a  short  notice  in  the  September  issue,  it  is  said:  "If 
Broadway  is  to  be  given  up  to  a  railroad,  the  best 
plan  for  one  yet  proposed  is  that  of  Mr.  Richard  P. 
Morgan,  of  which  we  published  a  view  last  month... 
It  will  not  interfere  with  the  street  traffic  below. . . 
and  will  cost... some  two  millions  of  dollars  less  than 
the  underground  plan.  Besides,  as  a  structure,  it 
will  be  ornamental." 

A  similar  elevated  structure,  the  "proposed  Gilbert 
elevated  railway  for  quick  transit,"  appears  in  a  per- 
spective and  a  sectional  view  in  "Frank  Leslie's  Illus- 
trated newspaper"  for  Dec.  14,  1872,  p.  225.  The 
neighborhood  depicted  is  apparently  that  around  St. 
Paul's,  although  the  only  quite  definite  object  shown 
is  an  "Ave.  B.  Bowery"  car  running  across  the  street. 
The  text  gives  the  reassuring  information  that  "the 
tracks  are  sustained  by  latticed  girders  which  do  not 
interfere  with  light  or  vision.  By  improved  methods 
of  construction  of  the  roadbed,  the  noise  of  the  trains 
will  hardly  be  noticeable."  Add  to  this  the  promise 
that  the  result  of  rapid  transit  will  be  abatement  of 
sickness,  intemperance,  fire  and  crime,  and  a  near- 
millennium  seems  at  hand.

the  process  is  called  a  "combination  of  photography

term  used  in  the  city  directory  of  1867/8,  "helio-

From  "The  Monthly  Advance"  (formerly  "The 
Brooklyn  Advance"),  Oct.,  1885. 

The  "New  York  Daily  Witness"  first  appears  in 
the  directory  in  1872/3  ("the  only  religious  daily 
paper  in  the  Union"),  address  162  Nassau.  Next 
year  the  number  is  2  Spruce;  the  "Tribune"  had  had 
the  building  torn  down.  The  Photo-Electrotype  Co. 
does  not  figure  in  the  directory  until  1882/3,  but  a 
pen  drawing  made  in  1872  or  early  in  '73,  evidently 
served  as  a  basis  for  this  cut. 

A  peculiar  hexagonal  design  appears  in  repeat  on 
the  sidewalk. 

The  Tribune,  according  to  "The  New  York  Tri- 
bune: a  sketch  of  its  history"  (New  York,  Oct.,  1885), 
moved  from  Ann  St.  to  the  N.  E.  corner  of  Nassau 
and  Spruce  in  1842.  On  Feb.  5,  1845,  that  building 
was  totally  destroyed  by  fire.  "The  five-story  building 
which  rose  from  the  ruins  was  a  marvel  of  convenience 
for  its  day."  A  fireproof  structure  was  added  to  it 
on  the  Spruce  St.  side  in  1857.

opened  1871  (see  Stokes  III:  975).  A  horse-car  of 
the  Fourth  Ave.  line  is  emerging  from  the  archway 
at  the  east  end  of  the  depot,  where  these  cars  ran  for 
the  convenience  of  commuters,  who  could  thus  step 
directly  from  the  railroad  platform  into  the  car  to 
take  them  to  the  down-town  business  district.  The 
Third  Ave.  elevated  structure,  which  the  directory 
first  notes  1878/9,  does  not  appear.  G.  F.  &  W.  D. 
Garrison  are  listed  in  the  directory  1874/5-1876/7, 
after  that,  W.  D.  alone;  Fay  &  Cox  1866/7-1874/5. 

A  view  of  the  depot,  in  the  "Daily  Graphic"  for 
Feb.  1,  1876,  shows  a  horse  car  emerging  from  the 
east  entrance.

Talmage,  editor  (which  he  was,  according  to  Apple-

This  building,  architect  Richard  M.  Hunt,  was 
"erected  1874;  enlarged  1905-7"  (Stokes  m:  968).

34th  anniversary  of  its  establishment,  the  Tribune  is 
issued  from  its  new  building." 

The  old  building  (see  no.  410)  on  this  site  (154 
Nassau)  was  demolished,  according  to  "The  New  York 
Tribune:  a  sketch  of  its  history"  (New  York,  Oct., 


PUBLIC  LIBRARY 


1885),  in  1873,  the  cornerstone  of  the  new  building 
laid  Jan.  24,  1874  (the  work  of  the  paper  meanwhile 
going  on  in  the  fireproof  building  on  Spruce  St.);  the 
building  was  completed  in  1875.  It  was,  says  the 
Tribune  of  May  6,  1923,  "the  pioneer  'skyscraper'  of 
America." 

A  peculiar  feature  in  this  picture  is  the  seated 
statue  indicated  outside  the  south-west  window,  ground 
floor.  It  appears  also  in  various  other  early  pictures 
of  the  building,  including  a  large  lithograph  lettered 
"to  be  completed,  front  in  1874,  main  building  in 
1875."  It  is  not  shown  in  the  picture  in  "Frank  Les- 
lie's" for  May  1,  1875,  nor  in  the  reproductions  of 
pen  drawings  by  E.  J.  Meeker  (in  "American  prog- 
ress") and  Wm.  St.  John  Harper.  It  is  to  be  pre- 
sumed that  a  statue  in  that  place  was  contemplated 
from  the  beginning.  But  there  is  no  mention  of  that 
in  the  account  of  the  new  structure  printed  in  the 
"Tribune"  for  April  10,  1875,  although  the  statue 
figures  in  a  wood  engraving  by  E.  SEARS  in  the 
same  issue.  In  1890  there  was  erected  at  this  same 
spot  a  heroic-size  seated  figure  of  Horace  Greeley,  by 
J.  Q.  A.  Ward.  In  the  account  of  the  unveiling  of  this 
statue,  in  the  "Tribune"  for  Sept.  21,  1890,  it  is  stated 
that  the  sculptor,  Ward,  made  a  mask  of  Greeley's 
face  after  death,  which  may  or  may  not  have  some- 
thing to  do  with  the  early  pictures  of  a  statue.  Ward's 
statue  was  presented  to  the  City  in  1916  and  placed 
in  City  Hall  Park.

Broadway,  quite  exaggerated  in  width,  shown  with 
apparently  no  "rule  of  the  road"  —  stages,  carriages, 
wagons,  a  fire  engine  (with  a  fireman  running  be-

A  policeman  is  escorting  a  lady  across  Broadway,  an

of  caricature.  On  the  sidewalk,  a  man  bearing  an

eating  (and  drinking)  house  at  18  Liberty  St.  dur- 
ing 1877/8-1879/80.  The  Middle  Reformed  Dutch 
Church,  here  pictured,  located  on  Nassau  St.,  between 
Cedar  and  Liberty,  was  abandoned  as  the  Post  Office 
in  1875  (so  says  Stokes),  the  new  building,  in 
City  Hall  Park,  being  opened  in  1878.  Presumably 
Wessbecher  issued  this  print  as  a  souvenir  for  his 
customers.

Wood  engraving. 

On  back  is  part  of  an  obituary  of  Alexander  T. 
Stewart,  who  died  April  10,  1876.  This  theatre,  at 
728-730  Broadway,  went  through  various  hands,  as 
is  shown  by  Stokes  (m:  984),  after  being  opened 
as  the  Broadway  Athenaeum  in  1865,  in  the  altered 
building  of  the  Church  of  the  Messiah.  It  was  the 
Globe  in  1870  and  1874,  finally  became  Harrigan  & 
Hart's  New  Theatre  Comique  in  1881   (pictured  in

As  we  enter  the  seventies,  the  proportion  of  prints 
of  minor  importance  increases.  Yet  who  shall  draw 
the  line  to  determine  importance?  This  little  cut 
of  the  Globe  Theatre  which  one  may  sniff  at  quite 
audibly,  another  may  treasure,  poor  thing  though  it 
be,  as  the  only  pictorial  record  available  of  a  theatre 
of  many  changes  in  name,  associated  at  one  time 
with  a  company  and  plays  of  a  local  significance  — 
Harrigan  &  Hart's.  And  so,  if  there  was  any  doubt, 
the  safe  course  was  to  include  the  humble  cut.

The  Grange,  says  Stokes  (in:  774,  949),  was  built 
by  Hamilton  1801-02,  on  the  south  side  of  143rd  St., 
west  of  Convent  and  east  of  Amsterdam  Ave.,  and 
thirteen  trees  were  planted  to  the  south  west  of  the 
house;  the  last  of  the  trees  destroyed  in  1908.  In  1889 
the  building  was  moved  to  the  east  side  of  Convent 
Ave.  at  142nd  St.,  where  it  now  stands.  This  small 
view  by  King  agrees  with  the  larger  one  engraved  by 
E.  D.  French  for  the  Iconophiles  (1895)  which  latter 
was  presumably  copied  from  E.  Bierstadt's  artotype. 
Bierstadt  appears  in  the  directory  with  "Albertvpes" 
until  1878/9;  then  with  "artotypes."  But  "Alber- 
types"  were  issued  later,  as  in  the  "Select  views  of

telegraph  wires.  Buildings  plastered  thickly  with 
sign  boards.  Sandwichmen  and  a  carefully  labeled

Hansom  cabs  and  horse-drawn  carriages  enliven 
the  scene.  A  policeman,  in  the  light  gray  summer 
helmet  of  that  day,  is  escorting  a  little  girl  across  the 
street  —  a  common  sight  in  those  times  innocent  of

438.  Chickering  Hall,  North  East  corner  of 
Fifth  Avenue  and  18th  Street.  Half-tone. 

Shows  St.  Ann's  Church  west  of  this  building,  on 
18th  St.  (5  or  7  West  18th),  which  site  was  occupied 
until  1859  by  Christ  Church.  St.  Ann's  was  there 
until  1895.  Mason  &  Hamlin  first  appear  at  3  and  5 
West  18th  St.  in  1896/7  directory.  Electric  light 
(apparently  arc)  posts,  an  iron  fence  on  north  east 
corner,  and  horse  carriages  appear.  The  Hall,  R.  M. 
Hunt,  architect,  was  opened  in  1875,  says  Stokes 
(in:  983).  The  picture  is  an  unimportant  half-tone, 
but  as  a  record  of  what  was  once  an  important  spot 
in  the  musical  life  of  New  York,  it  calls  up  many 
recollections  of  events  in  the  concert  field,  among 
them  the  chamber  music  concerts  of  the  Philharmonic 
Club.  The  poster  in  front  of  the  Hall  announces 
"Brooks  and  Dentons  14th  annual  banjo  concert" 
while  DePachmann's  "Farewell  Chopin  Recital"  is 
similarly  advertised  in  the  picture  of  the  Hall  that  ap- 
pears in  "Select  New  York:  100  albertype  illustra- 
tions" (1890-95).  The  latter  cut  shows  various 
changes  in  buildings,  although  the  fence  remains,  and 
the  telegraph  pole  is  wanting  which  appears  in  the 
half-tone.

Picture  shows  a  four-in-hand  ("tally-ho  coach"  was 
the  popular  name  at  the  time),  and  in  the  distance 
the  Grand  Central  Depot  —  a  topographical  liberty 
indulged  in,  no  doubt,  to  accentuate  accessibility. 

The  Hoffman,  famous  for  its  collection  of  paintings 
by  Bouguereau  and  others,  was  at  1111  Broadway 
1865-1913;  Caddagan  manager,  1895-1909.     In  the 


foreground,  the  Worth  monument,  in  the  midst  of 
grass  plots  instead  of  the  paved  "isle"  with  which 
we  are  familiar.  Probably  the  designer  allowed  Madi- 
son Square  to  sweep  westward  around  the  monument, 
to  make  an  attractive  picture  for  prospective  guests. 
The  monument  in  its  fenced-in  enclosure,  surrounded 
by  pavement,  certainly  appears  in  Appleton's  "New 
York  illustrated"  (1869)  and  in  Wordsworth  Thomp- 
son's painting  (see  no.  425). 

The  Gilsey,  1200  Broadway,  was  opened  1871  (S 
m:  978);  Breslin  &  Bro.  first  in  directory  1881/2. 
Picture  shows  passing  barouche;  tree  at  left.  A 
much  larger  woodcut  in  "Frank  Leslie's  Illustrated 
newspaper"  for  May  25,  1872,  does  not  extend  fai 
enough  left  to  show  tree. 

The  Albemarle  is  shown  with  Madison  Square 
Garden  (opened  1890)  squeezed  into  the  picture, 
which  includes  a  horseless  street  car  and  hansom  cabs. 

Libbey  was  at  1  West  24th  St.  1889-1907.  This 
is  a  business  card.  Printed  blank  dates  (e.  g.  198-  ) 
have  not  necessarily  any  significance,  since  most  of 
these  cuts  were  evidently  carried  for  a  number  of 
years.

"The  photograph,"  writes  Mr.  Judge  (March  3, 
1925),  "was  taken  in  1895  and  showed  the  house  as 
it  had  been  for  30  years  back,  and  maybe  more.  The 
wing  on  the  north  end  was  added  after  the  original 
house  was  built,  and  was  removed  by  the  Dyckman 
heirs,  so  the  house  would  be  as  it  was  when  built."

Very  likely  one  of  the  earliest  pictorial  evidences 
of  New  York's  realization  of  its  sky-line,  then  begin- 
ning to  change  through  the  growth  of  the  skyscraper. 
Since  then,  at  various  intervals,  the  newspaper  camera 
has  noted  the  changes  in  the  silhouette  of  the  city's 
southern  end,  usually  in  comparison  with  a  view  of 
some  earlier  date.  About  the  middle  of  the  nineteenth 
century,  and  later,  it  was  the  general  bird's-eye  view 
of  the  whole  city  that  was  cultivated.  In  those  days 
the  city's  growth  northward  was  presented  and  gloried 
in;  to-day  the  extension  sky-ward  is  emphasized.

lower  right  corner:  "K.  de  Ceglie."  Water 
color  drawing,  apparently  based  on  photograph. 

A  hansom  cab  appears  among  the  horse-drawn  ve- 
hicles. There  is  a  street  car,  evidently  electric,  since 
cable  cars  ran  on  Broadway  only  during  1893-1901, 
according  to  Stephen  Jenkins  ("Greatest  street  in 
the  world,"  1911,  p.  233). 

The  names  Lincoln  Trust  Co.  and  Cross  [Shoe  Co.] 
appear  on  building  beyond  the  one  at  intersection  of 
Fifth  Ave.,  Broadway  and  25th  St.;  former,  according 
to  directory,  located  here  (208  Fifth  Ave.)  1903-14, 
latter  (200  Fifth  Ave.),  1909-14.  Yet  the  Fifth  Ave. 
Hotel  was  demolished  in  1908.  Absence  of  Farragut 
statue  (erected  1881)  is  evidently  simply  an  omission.

Quarantine  was  at  that  time  at  Tompkinsville  — 
"the  Quarantine  buildings  were  quite  imposing,"  says 
Ira  K.  Morris,  in  his  "Memorial  history  of  Staten 
Island,"  v.  2,  1900.  Agitation  for  removal  of  the 
station,  as  a  menace  to  health,  began  in  1849,  and  in 
1858  the  buildings  were  burned  by  Staten  Islanders. 
The  same  fate  overtook  the  structures  subsequently 
erected  at  Seguine's  Point,  Prince's  Bay.  Later, 
Quarantine  was  removed  to  its  present  location.

Page  6:  New  Brighton  Waltz  no.  5,  accompanies 
this  title.  The  view  of  New  Brighton  from  the 
Bayonne  shore  is  a  copy  of  the  design  (even  to  the 
men  working  a  seine  net)  of  a  larger  lithograph  — 
P.  A.  Mesier's  Lith.  28  Wall  St.  New-York  —  issued, 
folded,  with  a  pamphlet  "Description  of  New  Brighton, 
on  Staten  Island,  opposite  the  City  of  New  York." 
This  pamphlet,  dated  April  15,  1836,  was  put  out  by 
the  "New  Brighton  Association  of  the  Town  of 
Castleton,"  (as  the  name  appears  on  the  map  of  the 
property  accompanying  this  early  real  estate  pros- 
pectus, 1835),  and  signed  by  its  secretary  George  A. 
Ward.  This  picture  shows  the  town  laid  out  in 
terraces,  with,  as  the  text  says,  "elegant  buildings, 
as  well  as  chaste  and  simple  cottages,  hotels,  ana 
boarding  houses,  already  provided."  The  language  of 
the  text,  though  richly  descriptive,  is  as  chaste  as  the 
aforesaid  cottages.  "These  shores."  we  are  told,  "are 
uniformly  free  from  the  deposits  of  nuisances  of  any 
kind."  An  habitual  visitor  to  the  Island,  of  a  gen- 
eration or  more  ago,  can  read  it  all  with  appreciation, 
but  optimism  seems  to  run  riot  a  bit  in  the  statement 
that  "two  swift  and  beautiful  steamboats"  will  make 
the  trip  to  New  York  "in  twenty  minutes."

appears  on  a  foundation  of  masonry  jutting  out  into

an  imposing  country  residence,  over  the  reference 
word  Quarantine.  The  topographical  presentation  of 
Staten  Island  is  a  further  matter  of  interest.

Side  by  side  with  the  effort  of  engravers  to  serve 
apparent  pride  and  interest  in  urban  development, 
with  its  note  of  material  progress,  there  was  this 
satisfaction  in  the  natural  beauties  of  the  land  and 
in  the  opportunities  they  offered  the  artist.  In  works, 
such  as  the  present  print,  the  Hudson  River  Portfolio, 
and  other  early  nineteenth  century  prints  this  feeling 
for  the  scenery  of  the  home  land  is  evidenced,  and 
it  had  its  expression  in  book  illustration  notably  in 
"Picturesque  America."  In  painting  it  appeared  in 
the  work  of  the  mid-nineteenth-century  "Hudson  River 
School."  To  trace  it  in  the  canvases  of  our  later 
painters  is  practically  to  write  the  history  of  landscape 
painting  in  this  country  for  the  past  forty  years.
